You might be a redneck if...

You take your 14 year old to a strip show.

A couple of years ago when Carmen and Raewyn were still home we wanted to go out to a pub as the local had advertised a drinks special.  Problem is we all wanted to go.  Jess was underage so we discussed what to do.

We decided that if we sat in the outside area with her technically she would not be in the pub.  Her sisters dressed her up and were satisfied that she looked 18. 

We arrived at the pub only to find out that the drinks special was not happening instead a stripper was coming to do a Burlesque show.  (According to the family they were clueless about what Burlesque was, there was no dancing just a lot of oil and weird gyrating on the floor.)

Instead of taking Jess home we decided that I would sit outside with Jessica.

The older children and Michael went inside to watch.  Michael was sitting next to Carmen chatting when a man came up to them.  He seemed to think that Carmen was the stripper and Michael her pimp.

Of course this led to a lot of teasing with us all trying to think of the best stage name for Carmen, “Caramel Carmen” and many others that I would rather not repeat and we all suggested that Michael should start wearing bling.

Yes I think this is when we hit rock bottom in parenting the night we took Jess to a strip show and Michael became Carmen’s pimp.  Please don’t report us to welfare. 



Have you had your own hillbilly moment?  Please share that moment when you knew you were wearing the redneck badge with pride.
